• Maintain working knowledge of applicable laws, policies, and investigative requirements -- coordinate legal interpretation and compliance concerns with Legal and Human Resources
• Identify recurring misconduct, emerging risks, and control weaknesses -- recommend improvements to policies, procedures, training, and safeguarding practices
• Promptly escalation threats, suspected retaliation, significant losses, conflicts of interest, and other urgent concerns
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders and law enforcement -- coordinate referrals and assistance requests with the Director of Corporate Security and Legal
• Support litigation through record organization, evidence preservation, coordination with Legal and outside counsel, and testimony in administrative, civil, or criminal proceedings as required
• Uphold ethical standards, treat participants fairly, and restrict sensitive information to individuals with an authorized business or legal need
• Oversee Lost and Found training, semiannual compliance audits, documented property disposition, and corrective actions

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• High school diploma or GED and 5+ years of relevant corporate, law enforcement, retail, or comparable investigative experience -- required
• Demonstrated experience or specialized training in workplace investigations involving discrimination, harassment, and retaliation
• Working knowledge of applicable federal, state, and local criminal and employment laws and investigative requirements
• Strong interviewing, credibility assessment, evidence analysis, and report-writing skills -- including review of financial records, transactions, surveillance, and electronic records
• Sound independent judgment, objectivity, discretion, and professionalism when handling sensitive matters
• Ability to manage competing priorities, maintain timely and accurate documentation, and communicate findings clearly to senior leadership
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office and ability to use investigative case-management and surveillance systems
• Valid driver's license and any additional license or certification required by law for assigned duties
